Bryan Shaw has become the high-profile poster boy for the Rockies’ June gloom.
When the veteran right-hander was removed from Colorado’s win over the Mets Tuesday night, many in the Coors Field crowd booed him. From the fans’ perspective, it was more of the same from a man whom the Rockies signed to a three-year, $27 million deal during the offseason.
In the seventh inning, Shaw committed a costly throwing error, gave up two runs (one earned) on a walk and two hits as Colorado’s lead shrunk from 10-4 to 10-6. Shaw’s ERA rose to 7.
